I can't see doing Seafoam that frequently as being a good thing...not so much price wise, just the idea of running strong chemicals through the engine at such frequent intervals. Just seems like it would compromise the integrity of seals, gaskets, cat converters, etc...(kinda like running a 5th of Jack through your liver every day....)

Every 12k or once a year works for me...
